Help me find a good GPU.

I currently am using a Radeon 7850 HD GPU and want to upgrade, but would like my price to be no more than $350 (though if with shipping/tax it goes over that's fine). I play games at 1920x1200. I am really interested in Battlefield 4; even have it pre-ordered.

yay you included your resolution! :D

its hard right now because AMD is about to release a new line supposedly. Its also incredibly hard to make a GPU purchase suggestion for a game that isnt out yet.

a 7970 is the best card in your price range though.

I picked up a very nice OCing 7950 (MSI TF with 7970 PCB) for a bit over $200, I imagine a pair of these would be about as much performance for the money as you could get, and price would be slightly better as people sell off their 7xxx series with the release of the newer cards.
 
Check out the 760 Hawk. Dam good performance for the price and you get Splinter Cell Blacklist for free.

$209, after rebate + free games. I had one that could do 1195/1650 stable on air (ymmv).

A pair of those for under $420, is highly tempting.

That's what I paid for mine used a month ago, running at 1215/1575 with low voltage/temps.

If you're willing to spend a bit of time finding a proper clock, amazing value for money with this card. About a 15-20% bonus from OCing is a safe estimate.
 
7970, 680, or 770, depending on what you find on sale in your budget.
